5 Tips for Achieving Success Organization Time Management Prioritization Concentration Motivation

Academic Success – Organization. Academic challenges are related Academic Success – Organization Academic challenges are related more to a lack of organization than to a lack of academic ability. Tips to help you get organized: Make a checklist of things you need to bring to and from school every day. Put a copy by the door at home and one in your backpack. How do you keep track of your homework and how do you organize your notebooks. Shop for tools that will help you stay organized, such as binders, folder, or assignment books.

Tips to help you manage time: Academic Success – Time Management Scheduling enough time to complete an assignment may be difficult for you. Learning to organize time into productive blocks takes practice, time, and experience. Tips to help you manage time: Track assignments on a monthly calendar. Designate a time for nightly homework and stick to this schedule. Divide time into manageable chunks for a project. If evenings aren’t enough, find other times for schoolwork, such as early mornings, study halls, or weekends.

Tips to help you prioritize: Academic Success – Prioritization Prioritizing tasks is a skill you will need throughout life, so it’s never too soon to get started. Tips to help you prioritize: Write down all the things you need to do, including non-school-related activities. Label each task from 1 to 3, with 1 being most important. Have a balance between academic and social tasks. You may have to change some of your priorities to achieve academic success. Revise your list when new tasks are involved and pay attention to due dates.

Tips to help you concentrate: Academic Success – Concentration It’s important that you work on schoolwork in an area with limited distractions and interruptions. Tips to help you concentrate: Turn off access to email, social media, and games when you work on the computer. Declare the cell phone and TV off-limits during homework time. Find space that fits the assignment. If you are working on a science project, you may need lots of space; if studying for a Spanish test, you may need a well-lit desk.

Academic Success – Motivation Academic Success – Motivation Students often fail to succeed because they are not motivated and fail to complete the level of work needed to be successful. Tips to help motivate you: Link school lessons to your life. Link your interests to academics. Control and choices. Determine your study hours and organizing system. Share your expertise. Often what holds you back from trying is the fear of failure or the memory of a time you didn’t do well. So, celebrate your successes, no matter how big or small. Make it a great year… The choice is yours!
